Seeing as Christmas is coming (even if it's still 20 days away), I thought I would share with you a list of ... *drum roll* ...
A Few (Just 50) of My Favorite Things
(most definitely in no particular order, because i like random)
1. My family; as chaotic and bickering as they may be, i love them a lot. They are just swell!
2. Music; it jazzes me up, calms me down, inspires me, i am so absolutely in love with music! I could go on forever and say a ton (and probably repeat myself at least 3 times)
3. Getting the giggles, laughter in general; it is probably my favorite activity. If i could get paid to do it...
4. Flurrying December nights
5. A warm cup of coffee or tea
6. Guys; i saw this guy do something just so male the other day that it made me laugh and i thought, i just love guys, they are so ridiculous.
7. Scarves :) i love them, i'd wear them in the summer if it didn't make me feel faint, haha!
8. autumn; i don't care if it's winter, it will always be on the list of my faves.
9. My car; i seriously love my car, it is awesome in more ways than one. I feel very blessed to have a car in such good condition and not to mention so sexy!
10. My adopted family members (aka my in law siblings); they are peachy, and i love them dearly! So far, we are 3 for 0.
11. My madge; she understands my weird trains of thought, possibly better than i do, and probably does the best job of any of my friends when it comes to putting up with my craziness :) she's the poo (that's a good thing, for those that don't know).
12. My dog; she is pretty darn cute, and my baby. Don't hate, i don't dress her, i'm not THAT dog parent
13. gyros; they are yummy, and i felt like putting them here, on the list.
14. My lover (sara, hehe); we are probably the two straightest girls...i promise. lol and yet we have the dirtiest minds around each other! who'd a thunk? after all those years...
15. did i mention coffee yet?
16. Donuts in the snow; they make me really happy.
17. My cousin-friend; haha, the constant debate when referencing Carrie to other people to say "my cousin" or "my friend", more often than not, friend. when we get giggly...LOOK OUT!
18. coffee table books; i am pretty fascinated by them, i want to make one, of what, i don't know.
19. Starbucks (this IS different than coffee in general)
20. HOCKEY; i love hockey, a sport where it's legal to just throw down on ice is ok with me.
21. Bass; i love when the walls are rattling cause of loud bass booming music.
22. Ansel Adams; i would have to say he is my favorite photographer, i like landscape/scenary photography, not to mention BLACK & WHITE!
23. chocolate; i have a serious addiction. that's it. it's awesome.
24. the guitar; bass, electric, acoustic - it is an all around wonderful instrument! i don't know how to play, and would like to know but don't really plan to learn.
25. Converse; i just love them, they are the only shoe i'm passionate about, which is abnormal for a girl, lol.
26. skyscrapers; i don't like necessarily being in them, i just like cityscapes with lots of them.
27. cigars; i like them, deal with it! it makes me feel a little badass, which nothing else does. haha.
28. Scrubs; i freaking love that show, used to hate it...before i got the weird sense of humor i have now.
29. Argyle; it is the greatest pattern in existence. The end.
30. The smell of books; i thought old books at first, then i discovered new books too! I just love the smell of books.
31. Boomer; (aka my car) it is awesome. I love it, driving it makes me happy...we have a bond :)
32. love songs; they are so wonderful and so awful at the same time. haha, i love them, but then i get in these overly sappy, swooning moods...freaks out a majority of people...haha jk, sorta.
33. Photography; i think it is such a great medium, it seems like such a simple concept...but then you try it and realize how hard it is!
34. Frank Sinatra; who doesn't love a man with class? [& a good singing voice]
35. Not studying for finals; haha, i may be the only crazy person who nearly refuses to study. I hate studying, therefore, i love not studying.
36. Movies; i love watching movies, i almost never regret seeing a movie, even if i don't end up liking it. I've rented a disgusting majority of the redbox...haha...
37. People Watching; sounds creepy, but i don't really care. people are so interesting, favorite thing to do at a mall.
38. Reader's Digest; it is the only publication i read regularly other than the paper at work when i'm bored. I love reader's digest, and i get rather excited when the newest issue arrives...i'm a dork...and they have really interesting stuff in there!
39. Toaster Ovens; i don't own one yet, key word here: YET. I feel like they are a brilliant combo of the mircowave (i hate microwave food,...) and the oven (...i hate cooking...).
40. HUGS; i can't believe it took me til 40 to get to hugs! haha, i love hugs. Unless they're awkward...the diagnol hug is just not a hug (one arm over, one under). Other than that, hugs are pure awesome!
41. Overused Words; i know that i do it, i just don't really care. Haha, i like them.
42. Stories; i like telling them, hearing them depends on who's telling them.
43. Silliness; so much fun. I like when i get that level of silliness that is almost intoxicating so i haven't many inhabitions, makes for a good time!
44. Talking; lol, i have chat sessions with my mom when i haven't gotten enough conversation time in
45. Lime Popsicles; I was trying to think of something non-wintry, and for some reason, lime popscicles came to mind.
46. Volleyball; i'm a fan of playing, not as much watching. I miss it a lot still.
47. Clever Rhymes; as in not anything Kanye West does. haha, but i love a good rhyme! probably explains the scarce, but existing rap in my music collection.
48. Twilight; the time of day, not that damn book! UGH! Sorry, i'm so sick of it! Anyways, twilight makes me REALLY happy :) it is my very favorite time of day. It makes my heart swoon [possibly] even more than love songs! It's the way the yellow melts into that deep blue that fades into the black.
49. exaggeration; i use this quite frequently as well & someday i'm sure it will come back to me, lol.
50. Green journals; i have a collection of them started, probably 2 yet to fill...but, i love buying/receiving them anyways & using them!
It got a little difficult towards the end there, but i hope you enjoyed the list of a [random] few of my favorite things! Merry Christmas to all :)
